    Default FAQ's

    This thread is for TBCS users old and new to ask questions about TBCS and how everything works. If you leave a question in this thread, then one our staff members will answer it.

    Dave,
    Are animated GIFs in signatures still not allowed? I don't want one myself, but I notice there is no reference to it in the new rules.

    Still not allowed Bucko, thanks for pointing that out! I'll amend the rules later when i've collected everything.

    When a user gets their second green reputation tile, they become a 'TBCS Regular'. The TBCS regulars get certain bonuses, such as:

    * Mailbox increases in size to 100.
    * Can set a Custom Title.
    * Can upload their signature image to the TBCS server.
    I got all this @ 25 rep. IIRC, the second tile is @ 40 rep.

    Will there ever be a way to see all of the rep you've ever received? Not just the most recent?
    RIP Bucko

    If the VBulletin guys ever put it in, yes. Unfortunately the Rep system is actually fairly new in VBulletin, and i had to do a little bit of hacking to get it to work for us. Green tiles are supposed to be worth 100 rep points or something, and there's no way to change that without a little 'studio engineering' if you get my drift. It makes updating the software that much more fun...lol.

    Actually, it was already in there, Rule 3.3. :p

    This isn't much of an FAQ, but for the sake of users like me (I have minor dyslexia and a little astigmatism), could you add a bit of color to the rules? Just change the headings of different areas to orange or something, I have a lot of trouble reading stuff if it's long like that, and all the same font, color, etc. Thanks.

    EDIT: Not to be too demanding, or annoying, but size change would be good too, thanks.

    Oh, and delete this if you want after you've read it/whatever.

    That's fine Ryoken, my girlfriend has Dyslexia and i understand how difficult it can be, especially if people don't take it into consideration. I'll try and add a dash of color to the rules, but it might be easier if you told me specifically what would help, eg: big orange headings?

    I've also heard that Comic Sans, the most overused font in the world, is supposed to be difficult for dyslexic people to read: would you find the rules easier to read in a font such as Arial?

    Every teacher/employer I've ever had in my life HATED that font.
    That's my point. It was never intended to be used, the author himself set up a website to stop people from using it. I believe this is it here. It's only marginally more useful than wingdings as a font.
